Ocurrence of Nyssomyia intermedia (Diptera: Psychodidae) in intradomiciliary environments: a potential vector of american cutaneous leishmaniasis in Montezuma, 2024
Due to the large number of specimens captured inside the residence, Nyssomyia intermedia stands out as a potential intradomiciliary vector of American cutaneous leishmaniasis. In addition, we reinforce the importance of studies such as this one, conducted in collaboration between the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, SUS) and the Collaborating Centers of Minas Gerais, to strengthen surveillance actions, promote preventive measures, and expand knowledge about the ecoepidemiology of the disease in areas still little studied.
